Chapter 187: 187. The Ultimate Battle, Li Hao's Entrance



Chapter 187: The Ultimate Battle, Li Hao's Entrance

The formation trembled violently, and five demon souls of the Three Indestructible Realm charged towards Lu Yuan with a roar. However, Lu Yuan merely glared at them, and the five souls were frozen in place, unable to move.

The gap in their realms was too vast. The ancient dragon's aura emanating from Lu Yuan instilled a primal fear in the other demons.

Lu Yuan snorted coldly and raised his hand to deliver a third palm strike.

Suddenly, a sharp, clear hum resonated, like a low chant, flying from the depths of the city and piercing through the formation—a sword tearing through the air!

In an instant, it slashed towards Lu Yuan's hand.

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed. Facing the crimson-gold sword light, his hand was covered with dark scales. He didn't dodge; instead, he grasped the sword blade directly.

Sizzling sounds echoed as the sword aura only ruffled Lu Yuan's hair. The friction between the sword and his palm sparked a screeching lightning-like noise.

The dark scales, akin to divine weapons, remained unscathed after the friction. Instead, they clamped onto the Longxiao Sword!

"Just a mere divine weapon..."

Lu Yuan sneered, about to exert force to snap the sword. But suddenly, a dragon's roar erupted from the blade, and the true dragon sword soul emerged, accompanied by the souls of the Blackbird Demon King and the Ten Thousand Caverns Ghost Empress.

At this moment, their souls, dominated by the true dragon sword soul, had lost their original memories and consciousness, leaving only the obsession to protect the sword.

Roar! The dragon soul roared, undeterred by Lu Yuan's dragon might, spewing out a river of sword aura, blasting towards him.

The Blackbird Demon King and the Ten Thousand Caverns Ghost Empress unleashed their strongest demon arts, a storm of countless feathers slicing towards Lu Yuan.

Gale-force winds and ghostly shadows formed from the Ghost Empress's body, blotting out the sky, condensing into a colossal shadow. Though its face was obscured, it raised its hand to crush Lu Yuan and the ground beneath him.

Three demon king sword souls attacked simultaneously, generating a terrifying momentum that far surpassed the five souls within the formation.

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed, staring at the true dragon sword soul, and he snorted coldly: "Once I shatter this sword, I'll free you from this human's slavery."

He seemed to recognize the true dragon sword soul's previous life. His arms transformed, covered in dragon scales, and he launched a barrage of punches.

The ghostly shadow's hand disintegrated under his rapid punches, the dark shadow dissipating.

The feather storm was scattered by his roar, and he charged straight up the river of sword aura, counterattacking the dragon sword soul's aura.

The sword aura couldn't touch him, repelled by a special protective qi.

He stepped on the river, advancing upstream, and with a powerful punch, the sword aura shattered. He struck the dragon sword soul, sending it reeling back into the Longxiao Sword.

In an instant, Lu Yuan reached the Longxiao Sword, grasping the blade with both hands.

As he attempted to break the divine weapon, he suddenly sensed something and turned to look to the side.

There, in the void, a young figure approached from outside the city.

His steps were slow, but he exuded an ethereal aura, seemingly integrated with the surrounding world.

With each step, the distance of several miles shortened.

In a few steps, he stood not far from Lu Yuan.

They locked eyes, and Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed. The aura from the youth matched the intelligence he had received—there was no doubt this was his target.

The human prodigy.

"Three Indestructible Realm..."

Lu Yuan sensed the youth's aura, his eyes narrowing. A young man at the Three Indestructible Realm would be considered an ancient demon king reincarnation among demons.

However, no matter how talented, he was just a child in the face of absolute power.

He sneered slightly. The thrill of personally snuffing out such a prodigy outweighed the pleasure of devouring a million souls.

"Daring to stay outside the city, you're quite brave, boy."

Lu Yuan chuckled, as if conversing with a neighbor's child.

"And you're quite brave to come here alone."

Li Hao smiled back, though inwardly serious.

He felt the terrifying, deep power within Lu Yuan—undoubtedly a demon king surpassing any he had faced, likely of the same realm as his second uncle: the Ultimate Martial Realm!

Demon kings at the Ultimate Martial Realm possessed their ultimate killing techniques.

And these techniques, coupled with their martial realms, unleashed true might. Even if someone else learned and mastered them to perfection, they wouldn't harness the full power.

"So young, yet so arrogant. Let's see if your mouth or your sword is harder!"

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed, a cold smile on his face.

He exerted force, attempting to snap the Longxiao Sword.

Despite the strange feeling this youth gave him—a sensation he hadn't experienced with other Three Indestructible Realm cultivators—he had already gauged the sword's power. It was formidable, but he could handle it.

However, as he exerted force, the sword suddenly trembled.

A vast force surged through the blade.

Brilliant golden light erupted as Li Hao himself took control of the sword, no longer leaving it to his dark clone.

In a flash, the sword's blade extended a sharp aura, shredding Lu Yuan's dragon scales, slipping away like an eel, and swiftly pulling free! As the blade withdrew, a dragon's roar echoed. The injured dragon sword soul, infused with Li Hao's vast power, quickly recovered, manifesting its true form and roaring fiercely.

Lu Yuan's expression changed. He glanced at his palm, where the dragon scales were cracked, and his eyes grew dark.

Then, cold killing intent filled his eyes.

He finally realized the source of the strange feeling the youth gave him.

The boy had held back before! Even facing him, he dared to hide his strength!

Lu Yuan turned to Li Hao, ignoring the fearsome dragon sword soul, and coldly said, "It seems you're more exceptional than I thought."

"You talk too much."

Li Hao raised his hand, and the Longxiao Sword spun in the air, drawing arcs before shooting out again.

Its speed was now ten times faster than before! In an instant, it reached Lu Yuan, the wind it generated pulling clouds and lifting the dust on the ground a hundred meters below.

Purple light flickered in Lu Yuan's eyes as he raised his hand. Lightning burst from his palm, shooting out a hundred bolts, dissipating the sword's sharp aura before grabbing it again.

The Longxiao Sword vibrated, shaking off his fingers, and then spun rapidly, slashing at his chest.

The sword light pierced through his protective qi and clothes, but only sparked against his scales.

Dragon scales emerged beneath his skin. Although uninjured, his eyes burned with anger.

His body emitted purple qi, and he struck out, his palms crackling with lightning. Countless bolts clashed against the sword, sending it flying into a mountain peak.

The sword then returned as a golden light, slicing towards Lu Yuan again.

The three demon king sword souls entwined with it, enhancing its power, their killing aura soaring.

Lu Yuan continued to strike, sending waves of lightning-infused palm strikes. The ground trembled, and the clashes sent shockwaves that activated the city's protective formation.

Countless soldiers gathered on the city walls, unable to intervene, only watching the dazzling battle.

Various noble scions had come to visit Li Hao and were witnessing the legendary youth's battle for the first time.

Previously, they had seen Li Hao's sword slay fifty thousand demons but had never seen him in person, leading some to speculate if it was another person.

Now, seeing him fighting the terrifying demon king outside the formation, those who harbored jealousy and malice were left speechless, staring in shock.

Boom! Suddenly, Lu Yuan's palm struck the Longxiao Sword, dispersing much of its divine light.

His hand transformed into a dragon claw, his face and neck covered in dragon scales, partially transforming into his demon form.

Enraged that a mere Three Indestructible Realm youth had forced him to use his true power, he decided to end it quickly, unleash his ultimate skill, and then massacre the city to quell his anger.

He raised his claws, the sky darkening as clouds gathered.

A low pressure filled the air, and hidden thunder rumbled in the clouds.

"Limitless Thunder Dao!"

Lu Yuan's eyes were cold as he raised his hands, pulling countless lightning bolts from the clouds, forming a thunder sword!

The lightning crackled, and he hurled it at Li Hao.

Li Hao's eyes grew serious. He spun his hand, and the Longxiao Sword unleashed countless sword auras like a fine rain, shooting towards the lightning.

This was a new sword technique he created after fusing numerous styles and training throughout the night.

Sword Extreme Seasons.

Four forms, with the current one being Spring Rain.

These sword auras contained a peculiar power, not just killing force but immense penetration, seeping into the opponent's body.

Compared to a sword tide, its penetration was greatly enhanced.

But the lightning tore through the sword auras, following them back, spreading faster.

Li Hao's eyes widened. The lightning could conduct through the sword auras, enveloping the surrounding world, following his thoughts.

This was the power of the Ultimate Martial Realm? His sword technique seemed immature compared to the opponent's ultimate skill.

Li Hao shifted his stance, his sword light blazing like the sun, slashing at the lightning.

Boom! The sword light shattered, the lightning bursting into a white-hot glow, and a cry echoed from the Longxiao Sword.

"Die!"

Lu Yuan's eyes were cold. All techniques would be destroyed by his Limitless Thunder Dao.

But then, a sudden cold light attacked.

Lu Yuan's face changed. A gray shadow stabbed at his spine.

"Get lost!"

He roared, expecting the youth to have a hidden Four Establishments guard, but he hadn't noticed the approach.

He unleashed a hot blast of qi, turning to strike.

A sharp screech sounded as Feng Bo Ping attacked, but the blow felt like hitting divine iron.

No wonder the Longxiao Sword couldn't hurt him; even his five-forged divine weapon couldn't penetrate!

In the split second, Lu Yuan's terrifying claws struck.

Feng Bo Ping hastily raised his arm and withdrew, but the claws hit his arm, sending a shock of lightning that made him stiffen and twitch, and he was flung away.

"Feng Lao!"

Li Hao's face changed, but the exploding lightning sword struck, forcing him to roar and unleash his qi, his body manifesting the immovable king's shadow.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Li Hao punched repeatedly, unable to dodge the lightning dao, forced to endure it. The immovable king's shadow behind him raised its arms, eight in total, wildly smashing.

Boom! The lightning burst, sending Li Hao flying.

As his fists touched the lightning, his body twitched and stiffened from the electric shock.

He rose from the ground, his clothes in tatters, only key parts protected by layers of his qi, leaving his clothes mostly intact.

He glanced at his fists, charred and torn, but they healed before his eyes, dead skin peeling away.

Li Hao stepped forward, seeing Lu Yuan chasing Feng Lao. He roared and used his Heaven and Earth Untraceable Art, swiftly pursuing.

"Eh?"

Seeing Li Hao unharmed, Lu Yuan's face changed. Surviving his ultimate attack was one thing, but being unscathed?

"Die!"

Li Hao roared, his fists crashing down.

Half-step Invincible Fist's power, combined with Heaven and Earth Penetrating Fist's intent, erupted with the immovable king's shadow, smashing down.

Lu Yuan's eyes glowed with rage, his body blazing with lightning. He raised his hands, wielding divine lightning, and struck at Li Hao.

Boom! Boom! Boom! They clashed in close combat, fists and palms colliding, lightning crackling.

The air around them trembled, and the shockwaves alone could severely injure a Human Celestial.

Li Hao unleashed numerous body refining techniques. Each time he was struck, he used the Supreme Body to mitigate the blow.

While the Four Establishments couldn't hit him, the dao locked onto him, forcing him to endure.

However, the Supreme Body still worked, lessening the impact. The electric shock's paralyzing effect diminished, and other refining techniques made his body whole, with various phenomena appearing. He moved through the lightning, his body healing quickly.

Li Hao absorbed celestial energy, drawing from the surrounding world. His punches carried ten million tons of force.

Over a billion pounds, enough to move mountains and seas, terrifying.

With the Heaven and Earth Channel open, he drew power tenfold, continuously.

Boom! The lightning burst, Lu Yuan's hand numb, blood seeping from some scales.

Lu Yuan's eyes widened in shock. This youth was a human-shaped beast, with such terrifying strength! As a true dragon with supreme power, even the bear tribe was dwarfed by him. Yet, a lower realm youth suppressed him!

"Damn it!"

Lu Yuan grew angrier, revealing his true form.

Roar! He coiled, transforming into a purple-black dragon, soaring skyward.

Absorbing the storm clouds' lightning, he dove, his claws crackling.

Li Hao's eyes narrowed. He roared, activating divine power, his strength soaring tenfold!

More importantly, his body fortified, enhancing regeneration, reflexes, perception, resistance—everything!

His body glowed golden, roaring as he stomped the ground, combining half-step Invincible Fist with Heaven and Earth Penetrating Fist's intent.

Endless fist force seemed to split the sky, clashing with lightning, creating a dazzling storm.

On the city walls, the soldiers squinted in pain, their heads numb, unable to breathe.

Li Hao's body was scorched by lightning, but his body resisted. His flesh healed at an insane rate, dead skin peeling off.

His blood and qi absorbed celestial energy, continuously regenerating. He felt nearly invincible.

His eyes fierce, seeing the purple dragon roar. His first fight with an Ultimate Martial Realm was beyond expectation, but his progress was also extraordinary. His flesh now rivaled divine weapons.

In divine power state, his defense was tenfold, making lightning's impact mild.

"Die!"

Li Hao roared, soaring towards Lu Yuan like a war god, the earth cracking.

Lu Yuan, enraged, roared, swallowing the storm's lightning, unleashing his ultimate move, Thunder Dao Burial!

His body glowed, lightning running from tail to head, condensing and blasting out!

Li Hao felt his skin tearing from the approach alone.

His heart pumped golden blood, his body tense. He entered celestial transformation, drawing celestial energy through the Heaven and Earth Channel.

Boom! Wild celestial energy surged, his body filling with it.

His eyes glowed with unmatched power.

"Is this your limit? My fist is invincible!"

He roared, combining celestial energy with his punch, blasting forth.

The fist force collided with lightning, shaking the heavens.

The ground trembled violently.

The storm clouds scattered, revealing the dawn sky.

Lu Yuan spat blood, his jaw shattered by the fist's force, teeth flying.

Weakened, he saw Li Hao unharmed, still fierce, advancing with endless power.

The aura surrounding Li Hao was ethereal. Lu Yuan's ancient memories stirred, his eyes wide in terror:

"You're not from here?!"

Li Hao hesitated at the sudden words.

Could his secret be seen through?

"You're from the Holy Clan of the Great Wilderness?!"

Lu Yuan trembled, voice shaking.

Li Hao relaxed. Almost revealed.

"Die!"

Li Hao responded with a punch.

Seeing the killing intent, Lu Yuan turned to flee, transforming into purple light.

Though still capable, his ultimate skill was broken, and the youth barely hurt. Terrified, he fled.

Is this Three Indestructible? He felt haunted, his mind flashing with terror, wanting to escape.

"Running?!"

Li Hao wouldn't let him go. Releasing a dragon was too dangerous, especially an Ultimate Martial Realm.

"Feng Lao, guard Cangya City. I'll be back!"

He shouted.

Feng Bo Ping, injured but stable, saw Li Hao chase away the dragon.

He laughed heartily. The boy he'd protected from Qingzhou had grown beyond his reach.

Seeing Li Hao's Heaven and Earth Untraceable Art vanish, he laughed.

The world would no longer bind this dragon!

Meanwhile, Li Hao chased Lu Yuan.

They sped through the Dragon Pass Road, covering miles in an instant.

Seeing the boy catching up, Lu Yuan burned a sacred heart talisman, speeding away.

Li Hao saw and understood, killing intent rising, continuing the chase.

With Feng Lao guarding Tianmen Pass, and the recent battle, the demons wouldn't send more than one Ultimate Martial Realm.

He had to kill the dragon, or it would return to destroy Cangya City, his disgrace.

So, it must die! Li Hao pursued the demonic aura, unleashing full power.

The Heaven and Earth Channel drew energy, fueling him. Though not using his inexhaustible power, the channel's supplement was half as good.

He could waste energy freely.

In a blink, he covered thousands of miles, seeing the dragon again.

"Boy, relentless!"

Lu Yuan, seeing the boy, grew tense, angry and scared.

He fled at full speed.

He planned to reach the battlefield, join the others, kill the desert sword sage, then deal with Li Hao. But the boy kept chasing, forcing him there.

"You're a dragon, yet you only run?"

Li Hao taunted, fearing another talisman, mocking loudly.

Lu Yuan roared, "I'll kill you!"

"Turn back now!"

"Ah, I'll kill you!"

Enraged, Lu Yuan sped up, burning two more talismans, outpacing Li Hao.

Burning through thousands of miles, hearing battle cries, he saw the second line of defense.

Around it, demons swarmed.

The demons hadn't attacked, waiting for him.

He knew they awaited his help to break the formation.

"Damn it, where's the void lady?!" he cursed.

Taixu Realm should lead, yet he faced the toughest challenge.

Now seeing Taixu's delay, his anger surged.

But before he could act, the pursuing roar drew near.

He saw the boy, anger and fear mixing.

"Demons, kill this human!"

His roar shook the plains.

The demons stirred, the city's defenders hearing it too.

Bai Shenjun and the dragons heard, shocked. Seeing Lu Yuan in his true form, wounded and chasing, they were stunned.

"??"

The demon kings froze.

What happened? Lu Yuan, the Ultimate Martial Realm, in true form, so ragged?

Soon, they saw the shadow behind him.

Bai Shenjun's eyes narrowed, seeing the boy. Recognizing the fierce youth, his eyes widened in horror.

The young god of death? Here?

Wait.

Lu Yuan, the Ultimate Martial Realm, was being chased? Bai Shenjun was stunned.

On the city walls.

Li Tiangang and Li Xuanli were shocked by the roar, dawn light casting shadows.

"A demon king!"

Upon seeing Lu Yuan's figure, Li Tiangang and the others were all shocked, their pupils constricting in disbelief.

Especially Li Tiangang, who had fought in countless battles, inherited Li Junye's True Dragon position, and managed the Li family. He was more informed about the situation and immediately recognized the demon king as the Grand Elder of Longmen!

Lu Yuan!

It's him!

An Ultimate Martial Realm demon king, and he actually came here?!

Li Tiangang was stunned, but recalling that the Void Lady of the Taixu Realm had appeared earlier, the presence of this Grand Elder from Longmen wasn't entirely unexpected.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, both Li Tiangang and Li Xuanli noticed a dark figure closing in behind Lu Yuan.

Their gazes sharpened, and they quickly discerned the figure's identity.

"Hao'er?"

Li Xuanli was taken aback.

Li Tiangang was also dumbfounded.
